I hope you have a great two days on this epic, Paul. Unfortunately, the rides look a bit beyond the limits of what I personally would find enjoyable, and they also clash with things such as the track championships. However, I'm mulling over ways of linking up with you briefly on one or both rides or, failing that, popping up somewhere to offer moral support. I'll keep you posted.

Hope to see you somewhere on the route if you can make it.

Me!

Please note the change of date to Saturday the 9th of July.

Yep, I'm in for more of this summer madness

Weather looks good for Saturday so get your bucket and spade out and put your big boy or girl pants on and come and join the fun!!!

What pace are you guys aiming for?

I think I'll ride out the same route as you on Sat but will leave earlier, go a lot slower and aim to get the last train back from Aberystwyth at 19:29 making it a much more reasonable distance!

Always wanted to ride to out there. Hopefully see you at some point as you pass me

It's pretty lumpy so i would have thought 15-16 mph average.

Unfortunately i will have to drop out as i have Covid 19 only mild symptoms, any late comers this ride will still take place i am sure Phil Richards and Andy Wrightson will look after you.

Get well soon, Paul.

Nice to see you on the way hope you all enjoy the ride home...

Now that is cruel timing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Paul.
